Lunch at Abuelos was pretty tough. First off, no nutritional info on the web and none in the restaurant. I think in this day and age there really isn't any reason not to do this, but if you don't want to provide that level of information about your product that's definitely your choice.
We have noticed that eating out either requires a good deal of planning ahead or some extra time with the menu. It's amazing how well we have trained our brain to filter these large menus based on taste preferences. Throwing estimated carb counts into the filter definitely slows things down a bit.
Also during lunch, there were at least 3 times that I started to reach for chips just out of impulse.
At dinner, I had my first taste of tabouli. It was ok, but there was something in there that I didn't quite love. (After looking at the ingredients, we think it was mint.) That said, I do enjoy trying new foods and I think tabouli will be fun to work with over coming weeks.
The culinary highlight of the day was definitely the roasted cauliflower. (My mom might just pass out if she saw the words "highlight" and "cauliflower" in a sentence written by me.) I think I even made the comment, "These are as good as french fries." Shevawn posted the recipe and it's definitely worth checking out.
